Fashion Musing-The Black Dress

McCall's 5984-Work in Progress

This is one of several projects I am working on. I love this jacket. The fabric is a two tone taffeta, gray and black. I can't wait to finish this one. I wanted it done for the fashion show, but it is too much detail work and I don't like to rush sewing.

I cut the sleeves and punched holes and strung cording thru the holes. I hope to make a pair of jeans with this outfit. It's the plan anyway.

This was a little tough for me because of the sleeves. It took me several attempts to get them right.

Spring Panache 2010 was Wonderful!!!
